The Canberra Festival of Speed is locked and loaded for 2025, with dates announced for the Australia Day weekend.

Held in Thoroughbred Park, Lyneham, over 200 of the world’s most desirable road and race cars are set to be present on Saturday, January 25 and Sunday, January 26.

Patrons will be given the rare opportunity to get up close to vehicles not often shown in public and see and hear them tear around the purpose-built exhibition circuit.

It’s not just road cars that will be present, with rare racing cars from the likes of Formula 1 and V8 Supercars in attendance earlier this year.

However, you can expect to see plenty of road cars including luxury vehicles, supercars, hypercars and exotic classics on display as well.

The owners of such vehicles are invited to enter their cars into the 2025 event through its website, where spectators can also purchase early-bird tickets now.

“Some of these cars are vehicles that people would only ever see on screens, and not in person and that’s a massive part of what’s driving our success,” said event organiser Peter Bakavgas from Project Supercars.

“These special cars are the heart of our event and why people travelled from far and wide in year one.”
